‘Filter by’ Commands
In addition to building and applying custom filters to reduce the number of records shown in a table, you can use built-in filters known as Filter by commands. For example, when the FRACAS Incidents table is selected, the following Filter by commands can be available on the Filter menu:
• Filter by System Tree Item Selection
• Filter by System Tree Item Branch
• Filter by Configuration Selection
• Filter by Problem Selection
 |
The singular table names are used in Filter by commands. The above command names assume that default table names are in use. You can assign custom names to tables in the Table Settings pane in the Project Properties window. For more information, see Specifying Table Settings.
|
Suppose your FRACAS Incidents table contains 10,000 records. When you right-click in this table, you can select Filter by System Tree Item Selection and then select a particular item in the System Tree Items table. To further reduce the number of records shown in this table, you might apply a filter to limit records to only those entered by you.
When a table contains hundreds or even thousands of records, you can use Filter by commands to control which records to show in the table or on associated forms. Filter by commands are available on the Filter menu when they can be applied to the active table. Filter by commands limit the records shown in the table to only those associated with what is selected for its display field. For more information, see Display Fields.
The following table describes the records that are shown when a Filter by command is selected (on) and when it is cleared (off). Selecting a Filter by command switches between turning it on and off. A checkmark appears to the left of the command when it is on. All Filter by commands are listed in alphabetical order below.

When one or more Filter by commands is on, a filter icon is shown in the upper corner of the table to which it is applied. If you place the mouse cursor over this icon, the tooltip indicates all filter criteria currently applied.
If one or more Filter by commands and a filter from a Filter file are applied, only the records that meet the filter criteria for all of these filters are shown in the table. In this case, the tooltip indicates the criteria for all filters applied.
